Platforms

Selection

On the home screen of the application, after logging in, you will find a page displaying all your accessible platforms.

The selection screen offers two options:

1. A drop-down list that displays the regions where the platforms are located. This allows you to filter and view the forms based on their respective regions.

2. The Search Box allows you to search for a platform by name.

Each tile provides details regarding the following:

• Name of the platform

• The deployment date

• A picture of the platform

To access the platform, click anywhere on the tile.

Platform View

The Platform View has different sections that can be accessed using the top navigation bar.

There are four sections that you can access from the headings.

• Insights

• Viewer

• Deck Plan

• Reports

Insights

The Insights tab is divided into three sections:

• Equipment

• Points of Interest

• Paint Block

Equipment

The Equipment page is where all the data and queries come together to provide meaningful insights into the platform. Users can access a dashboard to review all equipment and recorded data. By default, the Query Summary will be collapsed. Once the Query Summary is expanded, high-level details will be shown about the platform.

By default, no equipment is pre-selected and the right-side panel will not show any details. Only when the user clicks on a line in the table will the details of the selected equipment be populated in the right table, as shown below.

Query Summary

The Query Summary will display all the equipment in the selection. The selection can be a deck chosen from the decks shown above or any query from the left query panel. The selected equipment's details will be shown with a counter and pie chart indicating corrosion levels.

Selections can also be made from the Query panel on the left side of the page. Any details selected from the query will cause changes to both the summary and components accordingly.

Details Table

Following the component view, we have a list of all the equipment displayed in a tabular format; the table is updated based on the user's selection in the query area. The table can be sorted in ascending or descending order depending on the selected field. In this example, the data is sorted based on the corrosion field.

Corrosion

This indicates the level of corrosion defined for each piece of equipment according to both client's standard and Abyss's agreed framework.

Class

This is how a particular piece of equipment has been defined. The class includes Flange, Pipe, Support, and Vessel.

These are the key definitions for each piece of equipment. The rest include Size, Spec, Line Number, etc.

Furthermore, the table also has a selection of the columns available, this enables the viewer to view their respective data with flexibility. This may vary from platform to platform and is dependent on the data that is available for processing.

Using the Query

When the user selects a particular piece of equipment the detail of the equipment is shown in the equipment panel. The details that are shown in the equipment panel are Class, Corrosion Category, Group, Service, Size, Spec, Inspection Priority, and Line Number.

Corrosion is shown in detail and the breakup of corrosion with respect to light, moderate, and heavy corrosion.

Number of Rows

The number of displayed rows on the table can be edited by using the dropdown at the bottom of the table.

Sorting & Ranking Your Results

If you want to organize your results based on specific criteria, you can use the sorting and ranking feature. To do this, simply click on one of the table headers. Please note that this feature only works for Equipment, Corrosion, and Class metrics.

Points of Interest

This tab contains a tabular view of all the different types of Points of Interest that have been recorded throughout the platform. If a user wants to focus on the details of Hotbolting, they can click on that tab below the Point of Interest heading. This will highlight that tab and below you will see a listing of relevant points of interest.

In the table you can see rows of all Points of Interest of a single type and all the data that has been associated with it which was saved while recording that particular point of interest.

A report of selected points of interest from this table can also be made by clicking on the checkboxes.

Filters

All the fields that are present in a Point of Interest type can be filtered as well. For example, in the case of a Hotbolting Point of Interest, a user adds inspection priority and a number of bolts. These fields appear as filters on top of the table. In the image below you can see filters associated with Hotbolting and what happens when a filter is applied.

In the image below, the user will observe that after the application of a High filter in Inspection Priority, all instances with High value are filtered out. Additionally, values in tables can also be sorted in ascending or descending order based on user requirements. At the bottom of the table, you can observe how many instances match this criteria.

Clicking on a row in the table opens a side panel that contains the image and information of the selected point of interest. Additionally, if any information needs to be edited, it can be done from the side panel.

Export Data

Each table data can be exported as a CSV for offline data manipulation.

Paint Block

This tab provides information at the paint block level.

Summary / Charts

There are two main graphs which show descending values from left to right. This panel can be collapsed or expanded.

• Finding Counts per Deck and per Paint Block: This displays the number of findings that are present in a particular deck or a paint block.

  

• Coating Condition per Deck and per Paint Block: This contains total corroded area that is present in a particular deck or a paint block.

  

  The graphs provide high customization on the deck level. If a user wants to visualize the graph of decks of their own choice instead of all, the decks can be selected or deselected from the panel below the graphs. In a similar fashion, this will also shortlist paint block according to the deck selection.

  

  The checkboxes further help the user decide what they consider as findings. They can select and deselect Blister, Hotbolting, Cups, etc. to include in graphs. For coating condition graphs, the checkboxes allow users to include Ri0 to Ri5 data in graphs. The legend for findings and coating condition is mentioned below the graphs.

  

Table View

All the data that is present in graphs is also present in a tabular view which can filtered.

Export Data

Table data can be exported as a CSV for offline data manipulation.

Equipment

Using Query to Filter the Equipment List

By applying a filter through Query, you can easily highlight selected equipment in the 3D Point Cloud. This feature is particularly useful when reviewing specific equipment within your selection and streamlines your workflow.

This feature allows users to easily identify and locate specific equipment within the system. By selecting an item in the 3D point cloud, users can quickly navigate to its corresponding entry in the equipment list. This saves time and improves efficiency when working with large datasets.

When the selected item in the equipment list is clicked, it opens the details of the item, the details show the following:

• Corrosion Level

  • This shows the corrosion details for the condition of the equipment.

• Degree of Rusting

  • This shows the rusting details of the equipment.

• Associated Viewpoints

  • This shows all the viewpoints that covered the piece of equipment.

To view a specific viewpoint, simply click on it. In this example, we clicked on viewpoint MD5348. After selecting a viewpoint, an associated image will open up with 3D points displayed as shown in the point cloud. You can zoom in or out of this image to get a better view.

When you enter into image view mode, you'll notice a "remove highlight" button located at the top left corner of your screen. Clicking this button hides all highlighted points over equipment that are otherwise visible by default. To show them again just click the "highlight asset" button once more!
